[解析]
(1)细节理解题。根据第一段Her work in the field of space feeding was important in developing the equipment and techniques used in early space flight.(她在太空补给领域的工作对开发早期太空飞行中使用的设备和技术非常重要。)可知,Beatrice Finkelstein在太空饮食领域的工作对于开发早期太空飞行所用的设备和技术是很重要的,因此她值得被人们铭记。故选D。
(2)词义猜测题。根据第二段She was frequently described in the popular press at the time as"the Nutritionist to the Astronauts",as well as the proprietor or of"Bea's Diner",a restaurant designed to appeal to the public as a very friendly place.(在那时,她经常被大众媒体描述为"宇航员的营养学家",她也是Bea's Diner的___,Bea's Diner是一家餐厅,这家餐厅被设计成了一个非常友好的地方来吸引公众。)可知,她经常被大众媒体描述为"宇航员的营养学家",名为"Bea's Diner"这家餐馆被设计成了一个非常友好的地方来吸引公众,即她是Bea's Diner餐馆的老板。因此,划线词 proprietor应意为"所有者",A.Tutor导师;B.Editor编辑;C.Owner所有者;D.Engineer工程师。故选C。
(3)推理判断题。根据第三段At times,she would step beyond her formal role as nutritionist,providing emotional and psychological support to the astronauts.On many occasions,she was one of the last people the astronauts communicated with before launch(发射),and there's a lot of evidence that shows her friendship was a source of comfort during the stressful pre﹣launch activities.(有时,她会超越营养学家的正式角色,为宇航员提供情感和心理支持。在很多情况下,她是宇航员在发射前最后联系的人之一,而且有很多证据表明,在发射前紧张的活动中,她的友谊是一种安慰。)可知,Beatrice Finkelstein帮助宇航员减轻了压力。故选B。
(4)标题归纳题。根据第一段Beatrice Finkelstein,as chief of the Food Technology Section of the Life Support Systems Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base,bore responsibility for managing the nutritional needs of the astronauts.(Beatrice Finkelstein是莱特派特森空军基地生命支持系统实验室食品技术部的负责人,负责管理宇航员的营养需求。)Few,if any,female contributors played as important a role as she did during the early years of the U.S.crewed space program,and she deserves to be better remembered.(很少有女性贡献者在美国载人航天计划的早期发挥了像她那样重要的作用,她值得人们更好地记住。)可知,文章主要介绍了一位特别的营养学家Beatrice Finkelstein 及其为美国航空航天事业所做出的贡献。因此A.One Special Nutritionist.(一位特别的营养学家。)是本文的最佳标题。故选A。
